He LO is presenting on behalf of the applicant who lives in California. This proposal is for a full service Laundromat. The location was selected based on the amount of apartments located within a one (1) mile radius. A study was conducted on energy savings of the innovative systems, which utilize 2/3 the amount of water. There will be an estimated thirty (30) % water and electricity savings, and net savings of four (4) million gallons of water per year based upon an assumption of twenty five (25) % population utilization. Wash and Fold service would be charged by the pound. Plans represent two hundred thousand ($200,000) improvement costs.

Presenter: Clayton Husband, Principal Planner Summary: Terry Browning is requesting a revised Special Use Permit (SUP) for a contractor's office with a shop to accommodate the expansion of Cable Electric. The property is zoned C-2 Commercial, and the current SUP was approved in 1999. The site is 1.34 acres in size and located on the east side of Rufe Snow Drive between Glenview Drive and Boulevard 26. General Description: Cable Electric is located at 3716 Rufe Snow Drive. An SUP was approved for the site in 1999 to allow a contractor's office with a shop to accommodate the relocation of the business to the property. The site includes a 4,914-square-foot office and warehouse building, covered parking areas, landscaped areas, and limited outside storage. The owner has plans to expand the business on the adjacent property to the north, and a revised SUP is required to provide for the expansion. SITE IMPROVEMENTS: The proposed site improvements are summarized below. Some of these improvements include special conditions requested by the applicant. The conditions are noted with the relevant item, and are also described in the SUP Conditions section that follows. A site plan showing the future build-out of the property is attached. a. The existing warehouse in the southeast corner will be expanded by 1,880 square feet. This building is proposed to have metal siding on the north and east exterior walls. The north wall faces the interior of the site and the east wall faces the rear of a warehouse building on the adjacent property. These walls are not visible from the street. b. An existing 1,536-square-foot building in the northeast corner will be renovated for bulk storage. This building is proposed to have exterior walls constructed of 100% concrete masonry unit (CMU) block. c. A new 3,420-square-foot building is proposed in the northwest corner of the site. This building is proposed to have metal siding on the east exterior Packet Pg. 16 C.1 MFIt NC:KTH KIC H&.AND HILLS wall. This wall faces the interior of the site and the bulk storage building. This wall is not visible from the street. d. A new metal awning will be constructed to provide covered parking for nine new spaces. The awning will have a gabled and pitched metal roof to match the existing covered parking area. The columns at the west end of the awnings that face the street will have a masonry cover. The remaining columns will be constructed of steel. e. A new 6-foot tall masonry screening wall will be constructed adjacent to the property's frontage on Rufe Snow Drive. The wall is proposed to be built of painted split-face CMU block. It will also include sliding vehicle gates constructed of wrought iron. The use of CMU block on street-facing walls of structures is limited to 30% of the wall area by the zoning ordinance, so a screening wall constructed of CMU block would depart from the intent of the standards. As such, staff recommends that the original wall design proposed by the applicant be constructed, which is a concrete panel wall with a cobblestone pattern. f. The site will be landscaped in accordance with current standards. A 4-foot wide sidewalk will be installed along Rufe Snow Drive. g. The improvements to the site require that the refuse container screening be updated to current standards. However, the applicant is requesting that this requirement be waived due to the addition of the new masonry screening wall. The applicant requests that the masonry wall serve as the screening for the refuse containers, but the location of the containers is at the end of the driving aisle and could be visible through the wrought iron gate. As such, staff recommends that the standard container screening be constructed. SUP CONDITIONS: The zoning ordinance provides that special use permits may establish reasonable conditions of approval on the operation and location of the use to reduce its effect on adjacent or surrounding properties. The following are the proposed conditions of approval for this SUP application. a. Use and Development. The use and development of the property must comply with the site plan, landscape plan, and building elevations. b. Building materials. Facade walls may exceed the maximum 15% limitation for metal on the east wall of the new building and the north and east walls of the addition to the existing building. c. Refuse container enclosure. The refuse container enclosure must comply with the standards of Section 118-874 of the Zoning Ordinance. d. Masonry screening wall. The masonry screening wall adjacent to Rufe Snow Drive must be six feet in height and constructed of concrete panels with a cobblestone pattern. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: This area is designated on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan as "Neighborhood Service." This designation is intended to permit limited service Packet Pg. 17 C.1 MFIt NC:KTH KIC H&.AND HILLS establishments and retail stores for the benefit of adjacent and nearby residential areas. The types of uses should complement the character of the residential area. CURRENT ZONING: The property is currently zoned C-2 Commercial with a special use permit for a contractor's office with a shop. The C-2 district is intended to provide for development of retail and general business uses primarily to serve the community and region. Uses include a wide variety of business activities and may involve limited outside storage, service, or display. The C-2 district should be located away from low and medium density residential development and should be used as a buffer between retail and industrial uses. The district is appropriate along business corridors as indicated on the comprehensive plan. PROPOSED ZONING: The applicant is requesting a revision to the special use permit in order to expand the use of the property. SURROUNDING ZONING / LAND USE: North: C-2 Commercial / Neighborhood Service West: R-3 Single-Family Residential / Low Density Residential South: C-2 Commercial / Neighborhood Service East: C-2 Commercial / Commercial PLAT STATUS: The property is currently platted as Lots 4 and 5, Block 2, Jack M. Estes Subdivision. Since buildings and parking areas will be straddling the existing lot lines, approval of a replat will be required prior to the issuance of any building permits or certificates of occupancy. Recommendation: To approve SUP 2014-11, subject to the described SUP Conditions.
